Aultman Weight Management has a delicious and easy recipe to share this month. Check out this healthy one-skillet dish that even includes bacon!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 strips center-cut bacon, chopped
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into thin cutlets
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced shallot
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 8 ounces French green beans

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until brown and crisp. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Discard the majority of the bacon grease, leaving a very thin coating in the pan.
2. Season both sides of the chicken pieces with 1/4 tsp. salt and black pepper and add to the skillet. Cook 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
3. Add the shallots to the now empty skillet and sauté 1 minute, scraping up brown bits. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds more. Add the broth, wine and thyme and stir. Add the green beans, increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and the green beans are crisp tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer the chicken breasts and green beans to a serving platter. Season beans with 1/8 tsp. salt and fresh pepper. Pour chicken juices into sauce with 1/8 tsp. salt, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Pour sauce over the chicken and green beans and top with chopped bacon.
